As an avid cloud engineer working with AWS, you might have encountered slowdowns in your pipelines. If so, it's time to take a closer look at CloudWatch Metrics!
When building a 3rd party API, OAuth 2 offers secure, short-lived tokens and granular access. This guide shows how to set up OAuth 2 with AWS Cognito for API Gateway via AWS CDK, removing the need for a custom auth Lambda.
when working with AWS CDK, you normally use L2/L3 constructs for convenience, defaults, and strong typing. And sometimes you need to dive into L1 (Cfn) constructs. But did you know that you can go the other direction as well?
Reliable serverless applications require thoughtful handling of retries. Proper retry mechanisms help gracefully manage transient failures, such as network interruptions, throttling, or temporary AWS service issues.
AWS SDK v3 is the latest version of the SDK from AWS, offering modularized packages, better performance, and improved developer experience. In this blog post, we'll focus on how to use the AWS SDK for JavaScript v3 to perform a basic operation: putting an item into a DynamoDB table.
Embracing design patterns, backoff and retry strategies, reserved concurrency, and circuit breakers equips teams to build robust, scalable systems while navigating evolving requirements.
Hackathons are the perfect playground for experimentation - chaos, coffee, and code. My latest adventure? Building Rust bindings for Python and Node.js to interact with AWS S3, optimized for serverless with AWS Lambda.
